Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
We already write a security event upon successful van failed authentication, but we do nothing we possible malicious activity that could be detected with too many failed authentication attempts.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
We should consider adding a configurable threshold that will track a security alert when too many failed authentications are being monitored.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
This could also reflect in the HTTP response, but maybe in a later phase.
